hamels dazzles

A vintage view of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

Cole Hamels and Jorge de la Rosa went toe to toe for eight innings last night, but it was Hamels who came away with the win. Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth, the Phillies scratched out a go-ahead run on a Valdez single, Victorino pinch-hit bunt, wild pitch, and a Rollins sacrifice fly. Ryan Madson made it stand up in the ninth and the Phillies beat the Rockies 2-1. Both starting pitchers were outstanding. So was Madson.
